Home away from home......

Notice all the Ikea furniture, so good for small spaces

Note to self: Put essentials on lower shelf :-)

Since I have more and more responsibility in Budapest (and gas prices are nearly $8 a gallon) I have been praying about being in Budapest at least part time. Soon after a time of seeking God for His will in this matter, I was offered this flat! My departing missionary friends the Bixlers have left this "sweet nest" to be sold but in the meantime didn't want to leave it empty. It is fully furnished and  has extra's I have never had before like satellite tv, air con in bedroom and a dryer!! The flat is small (27 sq mtr) but has a full gallery above with bedroom, office area, bathroom.  It is in a superb location near Heroes Square with easy access to the M3 for travel to the country and all points east including the airport, minutes from the #1 metro to downtown, a 10 minute walk to the train station and even has on street parking for no fee.  Today I head out for the weekend in Budapest and look forward to a 20 minute drive to church rather than an hour plus. God is good!!!!
Location: City Park, Budapest, Dózsa György Way, Hungary

Chocolate chip cookies

Image
My mom who was a very good cook and baker, was famous for her chocolate chip cookies. Since she can no longer make them I took it upon myself to "try" to perfect the recipe. This is my latest attempt. (Last weeks were enjoyable but not in the running) Two brothers independently rated them at 8.5 out of 10 - 10 of course would be just like moms. This score could even climb to 9 depending on how they taste frozen. Mom often baked at night and would leave "some" out on a plate and the rest hidden in the freezer so they would last longer. Of course we figured that out pretty quickly and now prefer them frozen. You may like yours golden and crispy but there is a secret ingredient in these and a way to bake them that makes them soft and oh so yummy!!

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in...

The turning of a page....

Image
Don't you just love opening a brand new beautiful and colorful notebook, grabbing your favorite pen and deciding what to write on that clean, white page? Or do you hesitate, wondering what if you mess the page up, or your ink runs out or you misspell something or you spill coffee on it???  Sometimes that first word, on the first page is the hardest.  BUT go for it!!! Jump right in! It's a brand new day, a brand new month and time's a wasting!!! I woke up this morning after a great night's sleep, ( which is somewhat rare) Remembered a dream I had (sometimes happens)...in which I Spoke a sentence in Polish and it seemed correct (and short :-) (an absolute first!) I realized then it was August first and I could turn the page on my calendar!! and in that small act of turning a page, I sensed a shift, a much bigger SHIFT. Suddenly, anything was possible, everything was possible!!! Everything was new,  new mercies, new grace, new favor, a new start, new creative ideas...
